The Barcelo Palma Real is very convenient for a round trip in Costa Rica. It is located on the outskirts of the town from san José and therefore a good starting point for excursions for example on the volcano poás, after sarchí, grecia, etc. The quarter of san José, in which the hotel is located, is not really worth seeing. But there is a few recommendable restaurants nearby. The employees are unbelievably friendly, we felt really good. There was free internet & we could travel documents print. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable designed. Very comfortable beds (2 even king size). The hotel … read more

It's a nice city hotel nearby the Sabana park. The hotel lies somewhat outside of the center. One comes with the taxi in about 10 minutes to the center. We had only one night there verbrinden, because the transfer after manual Antonio only a day after our arrival has taken place. And it was great. The furnishings and the carpet are rather older. Especially the bathroom is partially in need of renovation. The beds were comfortable (2 Queen beds). In the bathroom was a hair dryer and extras like toothbrushes, Razor, sewing kit, equipped, but it was very small. The … read more
